Ingredients
Mangoes – Use ripe juicy mangoes to make the juice. To check if the mangoes are ripe and sweet, press them gently with your finger. They should give back a little. Ripe mangoes also smell fruity and sweet. Avoid the ones that have black or soft patches on the skin.
Try to choose the mango variety with fewer fibers. If you feel there is a lot of fiber after blending, then pass the juice through a fine-mesh strainer. My fav ones to make the juice are Ataulfo, Champagne, and Indian ones like Alphanso and Kesar.
Also, for 2 cups of mango flesh, you will need 2 large mangoes. If they are smaller in size, then opt for 3-4 mangoes to get that quantity.
If mangoes are not in season, use frozen mango or mango pulp (puree) instead.
Water – To thin the juice add water. You can also replace water with coconut water or orange juice to make the juice a little more nutritious. Adding tender coconut water or orange juice also helps to neutralise the heating properties of mango.
Addition of orange juice or coconut water will not alter the taste too, so add in without any doubt.
To reduce the heating qualities of mangoes, soak them in water in a bowl or pan for a couple of hours.
Others – To jazz up the juice, you can add more ingredients such as fresh mint, basil leaves, fresh ginger, black salt, freshly squeezed lemon juice, etc.
If you feel the mangoes are not sweet enough, then add little sugar, honey (not vegan), or any other preferred sweetener while blending. Adding soaked chia seeds in the mango juice is also a good idea, as it helps cool down your body.

Storage Suggestions
I will never recommend you to prepare a fresh juice and store and the same goes with this mango juice too. As it only takes 5 minutes, make it fresh and consume. If kept for longer, it tends to lose its freshness and the taste also changes a little bit.
